Chapter 191 Give the Girl Some Comfort
"The weather looks good." Meng Yanchen looked around, feeling the breeze blowing across his face.
"Yes, this is a good opportunity for us to explore." Graham said, holding the tent flap tightly with both hands.
The two walked towards the cave together. The cave entrance seemed dark and deep, but they did not feel scared, but excited.
They passed through the narrow passage, Meng Yanchen holding a flashlight and shining the beam forward. The air in the cave was fresh and moist, and the faint sound of water drops echoed on the rock wall.
"Look here!" Graham suddenly stopped and pointed at the flickering light on the cave wall.
Meng Yanchen came closer and found that it was a shiny ore that emitted a charming light. "It's a crystal stone!" he said in surprise.
The two touched the crystal stones with their hands and felt their smoothness and coolness. This discovery made them look forward to the next adventure even more.
They continued to explore, stopping from time to time to observe the various strange shapes in the cave, sometimes stalactites hanging from the ceiling, sometimes stalagmites emerging from the ground, like sculptures of nature.
As time went by, the light in the cave became dim and the surrounding temperature gradually dropped. Meng Yanchen and Graham exchanged some smiles, expressing their joy and excitement.
They didn't know where the end of the cave was, but this did not frustrate them. On the contrary, their curiosity and adventurous spirit made them move forward more firmly, expecting to discover more treasures and secrets.
Meng Yanchen and Graham walked along the winding path of the cave, the light of the flashlight flickering in the darkness. From time to time, faint echoes from the depths of the cave filled their hearts with mystery.
"This cave seems to have no end." Meng Yanchen frowned and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand.
"It's okay, let's keep going," Graham encouraged, and used a clean cloth to wipe his flashlight.
They continued forward, gradually adapting to the darkness. Before they knew it, they noticed that the smell of the cave had changed, becoming more damp and musty.
"There must be a water source nearby." Meng Yanchen stopped and looked around carefully.
"Yes, we must be careful." Graham followed behind him, staring at the water droplets on the cave wall.
Suddenly, they heard a low rumble, like a distant earthquake.
"Did you hear that?" Meng Yanchen asked, frowning.
"Yes, let's get out of here quickly!" Graham's voice sounded a little nervous. He pulled Meng Yanchen's hand and walked quickly out of the cave.
The two quickened their pace, their hearts filled with nervousness and anxiety. As they got closer and closer to the cave entrance, the ground began to shake slightly, and rocks on the cave ceiling fell down, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Finally, they rushed out of the cave and fell to the ground, gasping for breath. The rumbling sound from the cave became more intense, as if the entire mountain range was shaking.
"It's too dangerous!" Meng Yanchen said breathlessly, holding Graham's hand tightly.
"We have to get out of here!" Graham pulled Meng Yanchen up, and the two hurriedly fled down the mountain. Behind them, the rumbling sound in the cave became louder and louder, and a powerful force was constantly released outward, causing the surrounding land to tremble.
Outside the cave, a bright moonlight illuminated their way, giving them a glimmer of hope. Meng Yanchen and Graham slowed down their pace, but still vigilantly observed the surrounding situation.
"We need to find a safe haven," Graham suggested, his eyes scanning the surrounding terrain.
"Yes, we can't stay in this mountain range for long. We have to find a safe place as soon as possible." Meng Yanchen agreed, frowning as he thought about his next move.
The two walked down the mountain along the edge of the mountain, looking for a place to take shelter. Soon, they found a small cave hidden in a thick bush.
"Look over there!" Meng Yanchen pointed at the cave entrance and said excitedly, "It looks safe there."
Graham nodded, and they quickly walked towards the cave, hoping to find some shelter from the wind and rain. After entering the cave, they found that it was drier than outside. Although it was a little dark, it was safer than outside the mountain.
"Let's rest here for a while," Graham suggested, finding a clean rock to sit on.
Meng Yanchen nodded, then looked around to make sure there were no other dangers. They sat quietly in the cave, listening to the wind outside and the calls of animals in the valley, and they relaxed a little.
Suddenly, Meng Yanchen heard a slight cry. He looked up into the depths of the cave and a hint of doubt arose in his heart.
Meng Yanchen's heart moved, he stood up and walked lightly towards the depths of the cave. Graham followed him.
"Did you hear it?" Meng Yanchen asked, his eyes fixed on the darkness ahead.
"Yes, it sounds like there is someone there." Graham also replied attentively.
The two slowly walked deeper into the cave, getting closer and closer to the source of the crying. Gradually, they saw a small corner of the cave where a young girl curled up, hugging her knees, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Shh, don't be afraid." Meng Yanchen walked closer to her and comforted her softly.
The girl raised her head, a glimmer of hope in her frightened eyes, "You...are you here to save me?"
"Yes, we are." Graham smiled, squatting down to look the girl in the eye. "What's wrong with you? Why are you trapped here?"
The girl trembled her lips and slowly told her story. She was a villager who escaped from a devastated war, but was separated from her family on the way and hid alone in the mountains. While looking for shelter, she accidentally fell into a trap and was trapped in this cave.
After listening to her story, Meng Yanchen and Graham felt a surge of sympathy. They decided to take the girl back to their temporary camp and help her find her family. In this strange and dangerous world, they knew that only by helping each other could they get through the difficult times.
Meng Yanchen and Graham took the girl out of the cave, through the dense woods, and walked along the path into the distance. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves and fell on them, giving people a warm feeling. Not far away, a clear stream was gurgling, and the banks were covered with green grass. Occasionally, small fish jumped in the water, splashing small water.
"What's your name?" Meng Yanchen asked gently, trying to give the girl some comfort.
